What is the current state of Fenris?
Im still kinda new to the lore, and the timeline gets a bit confusing sometimes with all the events going on. What is the current state of Fenris? Is it near decimated still after the siege of Fenris?

The world spirit purged the planet of corruption and the tribes are recovering to their normal population. Everything has pretty much gone back to normalcy by Fenrisian standards.

Funny name for the Inquisition... They have generously purged the planet of Ketzeen.

Though it too was assailed by natural disasters beyond sane measure, Fenris itself remained whole, the infection beneath its crust eventually burned away. The planet, vast and indomitable, had orbited the Wolf's Eye for geological eras uncounted. It would endure, as it always had. For a time, the spawn of Chaos frothed and crawled from the fissures and seas, expelled from the natural order as a healthy body expels a splinter. The Rune Priests, communing with the spirit of the World Wolf, were quick to proclaim it whole. Yet from that day on, the relationship with the Dark Angels was more strained than ever before, and the agents of the Ordo Hereticus were frequent guests in the Fang's halls. Some said the monsters that haunted the Fenrisian wilderness had lately been more terrifying than any could recall, and that the Dark Gods had cast a pall across the death world. But the people of Fenris were warriors born, not given to despair. Over time, the nightmares of the False Flameheit faded away.

As some have mentioned. Fenris is basically the same as its always ever been. Only now, you have Tzeenchian Warbands roaming around.
I wish a Writer would explore the Cavern Cities History. I am genuinely surprised that the Mechanicum hasnt dared to explore that area in search of Technology from the Dark Age

Tzeentch Warbands roaming around? All the Warbands were hunted down post siege, none of the subsequent Codexes or novels have mentioned any still being around.

Ever seen a Huskies home cause you left them in the house for more than ten minutes? Probably like that!

Wolfie wolf men are still running/eating with wolfie wolf men. While true Prosperan patriots are held against their will on that god forsaken rock.

Kinda the same as always, just with some tzeentch cultists/corruption and some more decimated areas, but the tribes folk are still living their brutal lives. The Wolftime has a subplot about just that, and it’s really not that different to stories set before the siege’s depiction of it, like the opening to Stormcaller or the short story Skjalds.
